Custom logging function

[bwp91]

The feature request

My usage of this app is with my homebridge plugin homebridge-deebot.

It is standard practice with homebridge plugins to use the homebridge logging function to prefix entries with a timestamp and the plugin instance name. For example:

If any dependency uses console.log then the entry is added to the homebridge log but without the timestamp and plugin name - which can sometimes confuse users as to which plugin is causing the entries - normally only an issue when something is going wrong.

My ideal scenario would be the ability to pass a logging function to this repo in the EcovacsAPI class, for example

constructor(deviceId, country, continent = '', authDomain = '', logFunc = undefined) {

so I can pass the homebridge logger function to the class and it be used in replacement of your repo's default logging function.

My use case would really be:

• if the user has debug logging enabled then I could pass the homebridge log function
• otherwise I could pass either undefined or an empty function () => {}

Happy to discuss this more on discord if preferred!

Thanks!

Hi @bwp91

can you please give me an example of what debug information of the library currently appears in the log of your plugin when started in debug mode 🙂 Or are you planing to run the plugin in the development environment (NODE_ENV=dev)?

(I already started a conversation on Discord yesterday. We can continue there if you like)
